The final grade will be a consequence of the global results obtained in all the evaluation activities, which will include the three parts of the subject: Theory, Seminars and Practicals, with a contribution to the final grade proportional to its contribution in time planning: 60% Theory, 20% Seminars and 20% Practicals. All students will have two opportunities to pass the course:

In the first opportunity, a continuous evaluation will be carried out, including deliverables (assignments), partial tests (mid-terms) and a final exam (on a date set by the Faculty Board), with the following weighting: 

60% Theory (30% partial tests + 30% final exam)

20% Seminars (10% deliverables + 10% final exam)

20% Practicals (10% deliverables + 10% final exam)

In the case of the second opportunity, there will be a single final exam (on a date set by the Faculty Board) that will include questions on the three parts of the subject with the following weighting:

60% Theory

20% Seminars 

20% Practicals 

Both in the first and in the second opportunities it is necessary to pass each and every one of the three parts simultaneously (Theory, Seminars and Practicals) to pass the subject. A failed part may be compensated with others if its grade is at least 4/10. The average grade to pass the course must be a 5.0 out of 10. Those students who submit and/or attend any of the continuous assessment activities will be considered as presented (attended), receiving the corresponding grade for the work submitted and/or tests carried out according to their weighting, and a grade of zero in those works and/or tests in which they have not been presented (not attended). In case of not submitting assignments or not taking any of the tests, they will be considered as not presented.

Attendance at Seminars and Practices is not mandatory, but will be recorded.

The deliverable elements of Seminars and Practicals (assignments) will consist of a report of the activities carried out in Seminars and Practicals. Said reports will be made and delivered following the indications given by the professor (format, content, deadlines, etc.) and their qualification will be subject to individual oral examination, if necessary. These reports must be done individually and collect the work of each student as well as their personal interpretation. The reports of Seminars and Practicals will be corrected and returned to the students before the corresponding assessment tests and will be delivered, for deposit until the end (according to current regulations) of the following academic year, at the time of the final exam.

In accordance with current norms, in general the deliverables of Seminars and Practicals cannot be recovered until the end of the following academic year, so it is advisable to keep a copy of the material delivered.

The achievement of the Honours mark (maximum qualification) will require, at least, a final grade of 9.0 or higher, and the delivery of all the deliverables (assignments) of the course.

Students with officially recognized academic exemption are able to participate in the proposed or equivalent activities and have support by tutoring (onsite or online).
